Date Night with Jonah

Mr. Allen had to practice for church, so Ms. Jess, Mom, Dad, Jonah and I headed out to Green Hills for some fun walking around and shopping!

Here's Mom holding Jonah and I. We both LOVED to play with her necklace. Mom said that if she were a teeter todder, we would probably be even...but Jonah might have me by a couple of ounces:)

Oh yum! Burgers and peanuts! Our table was so much fun. I hope we get to go out with Jonah and Ms. Jess again soon.

Even though it was late when we got home, I still had time to play with one of my new favorite toys. Thank you Auntie Mel and cousins!

So You Think You Can Dance?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Dad and I let mom sleep in and then surprised her with breakfast in bed. We even used the really good dishes and fancy cups!

I gave Mom the gift of morning giggles and rolling around in the bed - we shared with Dad too.

Ms. Bethany, Mr. Eric, and Lily dropped by with Mom's favorite surprise: cupcakes! We got to go to Qdoba together for lunch before Mom had to go to work.

Auntie Mel and Mom after church at the big party at Gigi and Grandad's house.

Gigi made Mom a delicious carrot cake and luckily she shared it with everyone.

We had such a fun night with silly glasses!

I don't recognize these people - LOL!

Dad wanted to take a picture. I just wanted to eat the cake.

Ha, Ha! Mom's so silly!

Surpise - it's me! Again this year, Mom said I was her favorite gift.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Mom's Birthday Eve

Every year we always celebrate Mom's birthday with Gigi at P.F. Chang's. Mom says that I went last year, but I really didn't remember it.
Mmmmm...this place is so yummy!

Mom and Gigi

I'm almost as tall as this guy

I learened a new game while I was there. It's called "Tickle the warrior!!"

Shopping with Aunt Jennie

Aunt Jennie didn't get to make my party, but she gave me the best gift ever - a day with her and my first trip to Toys R Us to pick out something special. It was a magical place - there were so many things on my level to play and everything was so colorful!

Right off the bat I found this very special purse. It took the journey with me ALL through the store and Aunt Jennie made sure it came home too!

Hmmmm, a little too big.
This is a little too small. I already know at least 101 words, so I don't need this:)

Ahhhhh, this chair is just right! I love sitting back and relaxing in it. Can I pick this Aunt Jennie??

Mom and I had such a fun day with our A.J. I had a very special birthday too and got to bring home a new chair, purse, sunglasses, a necklace, and bracelet!! Thanks for a special day!

Dancing and Shopping

I was out doing a little shopping...and dancing!

The 'Family Reunion'

Mom, Dad, and I packed up and went to Virginia for our 'family reunion.' We stayed with Mimi and Papa and I got to make lots of new friends.

This is Mimi's best friend Nelda. She sends me fun stuff, but this was our first time to meet in person. She says that it's fun to be little!

We all went to a fun children's museum. Here we are putting on a hula-hoop play with Mr. Garin.

Shhhhhh...don't tell Dad, but I snuck and held Issac's hand after dinner. He's going to be a big brother soon.

One of my favorite times was rocking with Papa in his chair. I even stole it from him a couple of times. Papa and I are becoming good friends!

I taught all my new friends how much fun wagon rides can be. Everyone hold on and smile...my dad is about to take 40 pictures and 2 videos!

It was so much fun playing outside with my new friends.

Mr. E.C. and Ms. Nelda's house had a very cool slide on the inside. This totally solved my dilemma of climbing the stairs and not knowing how to get down. I think we need more slides at our house too.

Micah was always fun and happy!

Two of my favorite things: Mimi and Italian

Dad even got to catch up with all of his college buddies...plus about 9 kids.

One day we got to take a trip to see my great-grandparents, Mamaw and Papaw.

Dad and I both stole Papaw's cookies - thanks Papaw!

I did lots of riding and got really good at putting my sunglasses on and off. I even got to practice my 'I'm in deep thought' look.

No trip is complete without a trip to the winery and a hug from my Aunt Ruthie. We had a great time meeting everyone and maybe next time my Auntie Stacie can come too!

Water Table

Talk about a homeade water table!! Dad was unloading the dishwasher and I loved the extra water so much that he added a little more for me to play with. Watch closely as I actually take a drink - LOL!

Mimi and Papa Visit

My Mimi and Papa came all the way from Virginia as soon as they got back from Africa. We had such a fun week together!

Here's Papa and I. It wasn't fly fishing this morning, but it was 'fly the Briley' time!
Mimi and I had so much fun during my bathtime. She made me look all pretty for the day ahead.
Papa was too high to go over, so I had to under him.

I have an idea... Let's go see the fish!

Don't be scared Dad - they can't get us.

I loved my time with Mimi and Papa!!

What's Your Name?

I Can Play!

Gigi and Grandad are officially in their new house. I'm loving their piano and all the new songs I can play too!
